We all saw this coming after his Sugar Shane Mosley performance we saw the other night. Kimbo is done and confirmed by UFC honcho Dana White. The hype is over, I guess he can go back to street fighting where he first gained fame on Youtube.

Still don’t think Kimbo has stepped up yet to fill the shoes of Broc Lesnar, who is sick with some disease and does not seem to be coming back to the UFC anytime soon. Until then enjoy Undisputed 2010 featuring the best and brightest from UFC.

How do you keep getting beat by these tomato cans? You seem to not have any power beyond your first two or three swings and then you were thrown around that ring like a rag doll. SMH. You are gonna have to have some knock outs very soon or your UFC career will be over quicker than your last fight.

As you’ve surely noticed, Kimbo Slice has been laying low since his embarassing loss to Seth Petruzelli at EliteXC: Heat. And though he would have been an excellent addition to DREAM’s Super Hulk Tournament, Kimbo’s days as an MMA fighter might be over for good. Last week, MMA Fanhouse reported that the YouTube-brawler-turned-MMA-sideshow is no longer contractually tied to Strikeforce, and now the Sun Sentinel is passing along this bit of news about Slice’s athletic future:

Streetfighter Kimbo Slice of Coral Springs is stepping out of the cage and into the ring, according to promoter Gary Shaw, who gave the YouTube streetfighting sensation his 15 minutes of fame on CBS in the now-defunct EliteXC league. Slice is training in a private Fort Lauderdale gym and could return to the same venue where Seth Petruzelli ended Slice’s rapid rise in mixed martial arts in 14 seconds. Shaw and Don King have a pro card scheduled for July 11 at the BankAtlantic Center.

The date is tentative because it conflicts with the July 8-11 Women’s National Golden Gloves Tournament at the Fort Lauderdale Airport Hilton, and King said he doesn’t like to conflict with local boxing shows.Be careful, Kimbo: Don King is a wretched, slimy, reptilian mothafucka. But at least the sport of boxing will allow Kimbo to rebuild his confidence against “opponents” who are all but paid to lose.

Was Kimbo’s TKO loss to Petruzelli proof that he has no chin under that beard? Will Ferg flourish in a combat environment that prohibits takedowns and kicks? Or have you already decided that you’re not going to care about Kimbo Slice, no matter what happens to him?
